IMPROVEMENT IN LAMPS.

Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 105,644, dated Ju15r26, 17f).

To a/ZZ whom it may concern.-

Beit known that I, DAVID GHALLINOE, of the borough of Birmingham, in thecounty of Allegheny and State of Pennsylvania, have invented a new anduseful Improvement in Lamps; and Ido hereby declare the following to bea full, clear, and exact description thereof, yreference being had tothe accompanying drawings, making a part of this specification, inwhich- Figure 1 is a front elevation of my improvement, and Fig. 2 is aside elevation thereof', partly in section.

Like letters of reference indicate like parts in each.

My invention relates to the manufacture and fitting up of lamps withdetachable hanknown to the art of glass or of other suitable material.It is furnished with the collar a and burner-frame a', of any usual orknown form. To convert such a lamp into a hand or wall lamp, Imake ametallic ring, c, of the form inside corresponding'to the form of theoutside of the collar a, and so that, when slipped onto the collar a,the screwing in of the burner-frame a will press it Well down onto thecollar and hold it firmly in place.

Rigidly connected to the ring c and cast with it or soldered on, as maybe preferred, is a metallic handle, d, branching at its outer end in anupright part,d, and a downwardlybent end, d, the latter, d, being ofsuch form as to be convenient for manipulation as a handle proper, andthe former, d', answering the purpose of a standard onto which to slip asocket or eye, f. Rigidly connected to the eye f is a wire, g, which atits upper end supports a reflector, h, made in the ordinary or any knownway. A spiral coil, g', in the wire g affords the means of lengtheningor shortening the verticallength of the wire-support g, so as to adjustthe 4reflector higher or lower, and thereby bring it to any desiredposition or angle relative to the flame of the lamp.

By the use of an ordinary clip, into the eye of which to insert thehandle d, 'the lamp described is readily used as a wall or bracketlamp.` l

It will be observed that the socket or eye f slips onto the upright d',so Vas to be removable therefrom when the use of a reflector is notdesired. The ring c with the connections thence to the reflector h aremade separately, and are adapted for use with lamps as ordinarily made.

The ring o may be left sufficiently loose as to permit of being turnedaround on the collar a, thereby bringing the reflector hon any side ofthe flame, as may be desired.

What I claim as my invention, and desire to secure by Letters Patent,is-

1. The metallic ring o, having a handle, d d, and upright standard d',substantially as described, and for the purposes set forth.

2. In combination therewith, the socket or eye f, the latter supportinga reflector, h, by means of a wire, g, having a spiral part, g',substantially as set forth.

In testimony whereof I, the said DAVID CHALLINOR, have hereunto set myhand.

DAVID CHALLINOR.
